Types of factory accident

 

Injuries in factory jobs are not particularly rare, but your employer has a duty of care to prevent personal injury and accidents in the workplace. There are so many obstacles and dangers in busy factory environments. The most frequent types of accident are:

 

  • Slipping or falling
  • Objects falling from above
  • Manual handling injuries
  • Faulty machinery or equipment
  • Injury from insufficient personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • Forklift truck accidents
  • Burns

 

Many factory jobs also expose workers to hazardous chemical or materials, carrying a risk of industrial disease.

  • EMPLOYEE SAFETY

    Your claim will be against the insurer, not the business. As such you are protected and cannot be dismissed for making a claim.

  • DUTY OF CARE

    By making a claim you are helping to build a safer workplace for your colleagues in the future. Protecting your employers from future claims.

  • INTERIM PAYMENTS

    Our work accident specialists will talk to you about the help available to ease the financial burdens you may have whilst you are recovering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why make a factory accident claim?

Thankfully, most factory work accidents are not fatal, and a full recovery will be made.

But if the accident was due to a lack of precautions taken by your employer, then they may be negligent in their duty of care to you. This could be as a result of:

  • Failing to minimise risk and comply with Health and Safety regulations
  • Failure to implement effective safety protocols and practices
  • Failing to inspect and maintain equipment and machinery
  • Insufficient staff training in the workplace

If you have been injured and need time off work to recover, making a claim can allow you the time you need, without the worry of unpaid leave and the expense of travelling for appointments and treatment.

How can Work Accident Claims help?

Our legal advisors are waiting to chat to you – and it’s free of charge! They will listen to your case, before outlining your options. We also offer a No Win No Fee service.

If you have a claim and wish to pursue it, our specialist solicitors will then be with you every step of the way, fighting to get you the compensation you deserve.

About No Win No Fee

Only pay a fee if you receive compensation

Where we offer No Win No Fee services typically customers pay 25% of the amount recovered by our solicitors, although this will be subject to your individual circumstances and the actual fee may be less than this but it will never be more. Success fees are common practice and they were introduced when the law changed in April 2013.

Is there a time limit for making a claim?

There is usually a three-year period, from the date of the accident, in which you can make a personal injury claim.

I think I have a claim, what do I do next?

Make sure accidents are recorded in the work accident book and keep your own notes about what happened, including dates, circumstances and any photographic evidence.

You will need to seek medical attention for treatment and to make sure the injuries are noted in your medical records.

Then just get in touch with us for a free consultation and we’ll take it from there.
